The Wyoming lawmaker highlighted the dangers posed by the election-denying Republican candidates for Arizona governor and secretary of state.
“The first thing that we have to understand is that we’ve never been where we are,” Cheney said. “We’ve never been in a phase, a place where we’re facing this kind of a threat. And that’s because we’re facing a threat from a former president who is attempting to unravel the Republic.”
“And I think I knew on some level that even in the United States this was fragile,” she said. “But I certainly didn’t understand just how fragile. I think that’s such an important lesson that we need to take from history.”Cheney, who said her first vote was for Ronald Reagan and is a traditional conservative Republican who favors low taxes and international engagement by the United States, also took shots at Fox News Channel.
Cheney said being a patriot means loving country more than whatever political party someone belongs to. She said McCain stood for that idea that American is a nation based on freedom, and that carries with it an obligation to help defend freedom around the world.“You can’t look at something like what’s happening today with Russia and Ukraine, and say America is neutral in that,” Cheney said. “That’s a frontline in the war of freedom and America must support Ukraine.”
